This is no help to you.... but this is definitely a bridge/route
problem and nothing to do with the fact its a wireless NIC card.
I am sure you would have the same problem if you took the wavelan
out and instead used regular NIC's.
Check out this site: http://www.linux-router.org The fellow that
has the site is Dave Cinege. He started out by using routers
and bridges using the cheap, surplus ISA Wavelan Cards that you
can get for $50. He is a guru on them, as well as routing and
bridging. If the site does not have anything useful to you, give
him a phone call or email him and I am sure he will fix you right
up.
